Sumario:This study analyzes the scientific structure of publications about Information Literacy related to fake news and disinformation indexed in the databases Base de Dados Referenciais de Artigos de Periódicos em Ciência da Informação (BRAPCI), Biblioteca Digital Brasileira de Teses e Dissertações (BDTD) and Catálogo de Teses e Dissertações CAPES until 2021. The corpus of analysis consisted of 30 items. The study demonstrates a growing trend in the number of publications from 2018 onwards. As for the content, the publications were grouped into seven categories and the category with the largest number of studies includes papers about information and health in the context of fake news and disinformation related to information literacy. It was shown that the complexity regarding the different approaches to information literacy related to the equally complex phenomenon of disinformation and fake news reveals that it is an emerging study theme in the area.
